These boring tourists are so used to not making choices that they feel comfortable eating at MacDonalds, Taco bell, etc. Instead of some local burger joint or Mexican restaurant/taco stand. These sheep miss out on the variety of life. Sure , sometimes you take a chance and go to some "cute" vintage place and the food is sub-par. But taking those chances and eating at the occasional sub-par place is worth it because of all the great cool places you can find. Imagine, Jabbo, if we had got a sandwich at Subway in Miami instead of Wolfie Cohn's Rascal House-we would have missed out on LIVING (and a great meal in a great restaurant)!! Of course, I am not trying to sell you on not being a sheep--you are the best example of a black sheep(in this context) that I know. I am just ranting. Don't forget folks, explore the little places in your own hood, too!! There are jems to be found. Happy eating! :)
